George William Curtis. editor Of

Gus mugwump editor of Il mugwamp
jousnal in the country, differs radi
cally from Editor Jones, of the New
York Times, the leading mUgwump
daily, in his estimate Of Cleveland's
chances for election if rc-nominated
by the democrats In an interview
with 4 representative Of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer (anti-Cleveland dem
ocrat, Mr. Curtis said: The mug
wumps are satisfied with Cleveland
and the democrats viii probably re
nominate him, although the leaders
will oppose it." He thinks that four
fifths of the independents would vote
for Cleveland as against John Sher-
man, aud that the republicans will
be 5oTced to nominate Blaine because
Of his personal popularity. Curtis
does not believe that Cleveland can
be reelected on account Of the hos
tility Of the democratic leaders in the
empire state. 10 elect 4 presiGcnt,'
he said. the successful party must
carry New York. The democratic
leaders of my state, including Tam
many hail, are opposed to Cleveland
and l feel conscious that they would
slaughter him at the polls"
